Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
The ranch can best be described as an intact piece of mature native hardwood bottom habitat. A diversity of hardwood species, including several species of oaks, tower above the 58 acres, providing limitless cover, and an endless amount of acorns in the fall to keep the assortment of wildlife well fed.
The property falls within the Neches River bottom and experiences the seasonal transition to riparian habitat in the winter months, which is ideal for migrating waterfowl including puddle ducks like wood ducks, mallards, and greenwing teal. In addition to the three ponds on the southwest section of the property and the Dollar Cutoff that runs the Southern boundary, this property has serious potential to be further developed for waterfowl hunting if a buyer so chooses.
Wildlife
The Neches River bottom is renowned for holding record-breaking whitetail, healthy populations of wintering waterfowl, and an abundance of wild pigs. The Dollarhide Ranch is no different, as this ranch fits squarely into the large contiguous forested acreage, and therefore should present endless hunting and recreational opportunities for its new owners for years to come.
Improvements
There are no livable improvements on the ranch; however, the acreage just inside the entrance is ideal for building future improvements.
Water
There are no known wells on the property.
Electricity

Area History
South of Diboll, the Neches River bottoms form part of the storied East Texas timber belt, where early logging and river transport once defined settlement patterns. Today, this corridor remains a mosaic of managed timberlands and private ranches, with Highway 59 providing direct access to one of Texas’s most historic river systems.
